Department of Civil Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering is headed by Prof. Dineshkumar S Maganur. The Civil Engineering is one of the oldest and most impactful branches of Engineering, playing a vital role in shaping competent professionals. The department was established in the year 1980 with an intake of 50. The current intake is 60.
Department is supported by highly qualified and experienced faculty members who are committed to quality teaching, research, and consultancy. Regular workshops, industrial visits,
expert lectures, internships, and project-based learning help students stay aligned with current industry trends and emerging technologies
Our curriculum blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on laboratory experience, industry-oriented training,
field exposure, and research opportunities. The students are trained to be competent enough in an emerging area such as Sustainable and Green Construction Technologies,
Smart Cities and Urban Infrastructure, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Geospatial Technologies, Advanced Construction Materials,
Water Resources and Climate-Resilient Engineering, Transportation and Pavement Innovations.

Activities
The department of Civil Engineering established a Forum for students called Civil Engineering Association(C E A). A platform for students to develop their technical knowledge and Engineering Practices. The Civil Engineering Department organizes a wide range of academic, technical, and co-curricular activities throughout the year to enhance student learning, promote innovation, and strengthen industry–institute interaction. These activities provide hands-on exposure, skill development, and real-time understanding of emerging trends in the civil engineering profession.
The department of Civil engineering conduct many cocurricular activities:
To bring people of civil community together & enhance their skills, there by build up confidence in them to transfer technology to common man.
Bridge up the gap between Industry & Institution, by attaining mutual benefits for the college and Industries through an attitude of Cooperation , partnership & sharing experiences.
The department has conducted several seminars & workshops and is marching forward in this regard.
Train up the students with managerial and public speaking skills and practices.
This Association has conducted several community upgradation programes.
